Senators Override Ike's Wishes, Vote for Pay Boost
The Senate approved a 10 percent pay raise for about 1.5 million government workers, including 500,000 postal workers, in a 72 to 21 roll call. The measure, opposed by the President, now heads to the House where leaders may rally opposition. The package costs roughly 720 million dollars annually, with postal workers facing a 220 million figure and Civil Service about 500 million. The vote reflected party splits and skepticism about overstepping budgeting limits.

Senate probes close Peress case files
Senate investigators voted to close their books on the Peress case and defer prosecution questions to the Justice Department. The panel urged pursuing possible perjury violations while leaving open a future reopening of hearings, as Sen McCarthy pushes for more sessions to probe conflicting statements by Zwicker and Anastos. Peress, a New York dentist and former Army major, had denied membership in subversive groups and was listed as a security risk, yet was promoted and later discharged honorably.
